Services
Two mediums. One studio voice.
We offer photography and video as equal services. Most engagements are one or the other; the best are both. Below is what we make, and how it usually works.
S/01
Photography
Documentary and still life. Interiors, plating, products, portraits. We light minimally and shoot for mood, not coverage.
-
Opening & refresh shoots
A complete visual library for a new room or a re-launch: space, plating, portraits, details. Usually one to two days on site.
-
Menu & product still life
Considered still life for menus, packaging, and editorial press. In your space, in our studio, or on location.
-
Editorial features for press
Press-ready selections built around a story, sized and captioned for outreach. We work with publicists when needed.
-
Founder & team portraits
Natural-light portraits of the people behind the work. Posed, but never stiff.
S/02
Video
Observational, music-led films that capture the feel of a place. Same eye, same patience — in motion. We keep crews small and the edit honest.
-
Atmosphere films
A 45–60 second observational, music-led film — the feel of the room in light, rhythm and sound. Shot on cinema cameras, hand-graded. Our signature, and what's built into The Campaign.
-
Social cutdown
A 9:16 cut for Instagram & TikTok comes with the film. Extra cutdowns and aspect ratios (1:1, 16:9) are an easy add-on.
-
Founder interviews add-on
One or two cameras, available light supplemented with LEDs. We ask better questions than the standard list. Booked alongside a shoot or on its own.
-
Process & making-of films add-on
A longer documentary-style edit about how a thing is made — wheel, kiln, kitchen, press. For makers who want their craft seen properly.

FAQ
Practical answers.
- Do you travel outside NYC?
- Yes. We're based in Brooklyn but regularly travel across the tri-state area, and further when the project calls for it.
- How long until I receive the final files?
- Photography: typically two weeks after the shoot. Video: three to four weeks, depending on scope.
- Can I license the images?
- Yes. Standard licenses cover web, social, print and press. Broader campaign use is quoted per project.
- Do you shoot food and interiors in the same visit?
- Often, yes. A typical opening shoot covers space, plating, portraits and details in one day.
- Do you work with publicists & agencies?
- We do. Comfortable working directly with clients, with publicists managing press placements, or as part of a wider agency team.
- What's the booking lead time?
- Typically two to six weeks out. We hold a small number of slots each month for shorter notice — ask.
